Last week I covered many of the issues with financial stress, so I’ll cover a few answers this week. Over 25 years of writing financial columns I’ve witnessed first-hand all aspects of financial stress on readers, irrespective of their wealth (please trust me on this). What will change our feelings is our relationship with money and our understanding of it: and so to some New Year’s resolutions.
Firstly, resolutions of any shape or form only work when the reasons for making them are real. The subconscious, which controls your actions, will reject any ‘wish’ as a dream and will hijack any actions you may be considering. A resolution will be real if your ‘why’ behind it is real.
Google “Simon Sinek start with why” and there’s an 18-minute video for you to watch. Then you’ll know your ‘why’, whether it’s in business, to do with family and relationships or just money.
